Chapter 77 Pre-match preparation

The only way to increase the speed of setting traps is to replace a better shovel.

I used to use the silver-level "alloy stone shovel" obtained from "Tianxia Auction House". Although the attributes were not very good, they were a good thing at that time. Since I got it, I have been using it to dig traps. Even with its super high durability (400), it has been constantly decreasing. After more than ten times of repair, the current durability is only 50, and the attributes have dropped to the level of ordinary bronze equipment.

If I replace a new shovel this time, I will definitely significantly increase the speed of setting traps. The first thing I thought of was that, today he has already built a silver-level long sword, and if he wants to shovel, he has to wait until tomorrow. So, now my choice has become Zhang San of the "Tianxia Auction House".

"Oh, Brother Mo Shui, you're here. My publicity has been done almost. I'm waiting for your equipment." Although Zhang San's tone was urgent, there was a strong smile in his eyes. Yes, the day after tomorrow, Pangu City will hold a large-scale equipment auction in the history of the game. Think about it, just those dozens of gold equipment can make everyone crazy. The more popular the auction, the more full your pockets will become, so you can't hide the smile in your heart.

"What's the hurry? I'll bring it to you tomorrow." I said straight to the point: "Boss Zhang, I'm here this time to find a shovel."

"Shovel?" Zhang San repeated in confusion.

"Yes, it's the shovel." I took a sip of tea and said, "It's the shovel we hunters use to dig the 'trap'. I have other equipment in this competition, but I haven't hit any of this shovels. So, today I'm here to dig treasures."

"The shovel used by the hunter? Let me think about it." After saying that, he sat there motionless, probably looking up information. The NPCs played by real people have the permissions and tools that many players do not have, and are very modern. For example, now, I guess they are using his "electronic notebook", and of course those tools cannot be seen by outsiders.

"I found one called the 'Golden Shovel'. The player wanted to take this opportunity to sell it for a good price. He just delivered it two days ago." After a few seconds, Zhang San finally returned to normal and said.

"So the level, attributes and prices?" This is what I care about.

"As the name suggests, the 'Golden Shovel' is of course a gold equipment. The attributes are very good: attack + 15, increase the excavation speed by 50%, and the 5% chance to use the hunter's advanced skills - dig thousands of miles, durability 600/600, and carrying a weight of 27. Haha, it is definitely the best equipment for hunters! As for the auction price, 60,000 gold coins, it is probably worth 50,000 to 600,000 yuan, of course this is the current price. If there is no 'Tianxia Martial Arts Fighting Club', it will be only 200,000 to 300,000 gold coins at most." Speaking of equipment, Zhang San can be said to be very proficient. He who deals with equipment every day knows the true value of these things.

"Is there any way to contact that player directly? I want to buy this 'Golden Shovel' directly." I don't want to get caught in the auction situation, especially in such a crazy period. Perhaps the equipment of 10,000 gold coins could be used to make things worth more than 10,000 yuan. There are too many uncertainties in the auction.

"Well, I can help you contact me. By the way, what is your bid standard?"

I thought for a while and said, "I offer 400,000 gold coins, no more than 550,000 gold coins, so you can come forward directly. If it were me, that guy would definitely speak out."

"Okay, there's no problem, a small matter. But Brother Moshui, if you enter the top four, you must take good care of me!" Zhang San said with a flattery face.

Of course I know what Zhang San means. You must know that in this "World Martial Arts Fighting Meeting", there are a total of one immortal weapon, three dark gold equipment, more than one hundred gold equipment, and more than five hundred top-level silver equipment. Among them, the immortal weapon and dark gold equipment are the prizes of the top four in the "Comprehensive Ability Competition". If I can enter the top four, I can at least get one dark gold equipment and two gold equipment.

Also, in the single-professional competition, my doctor's skill "alliative" is obviously in the leading position in the Eastern Continent. I think a piece of gold equipment and a piece of silver equipment cannot escape, so no matter what, the harvest this time will definitely be very good, so this guy made a big idea in advance.

In fact, he had already said this last time, but I just vaguely shirked it. After all, it is still unknown whether he can get a ranking with his own strength. If he doesn't get a considerable ranking, he would be ashamed of me. However, now, Zhang San takes this matter as a condition, so it is of course not easy to shirk it away. Anyway, his request also has the premise of "entering the top four".

After I nodded, Zhang San happily contacted the player who owned the "Golden Shovel", while I sat quietly in Zhang San's luxurious living room, enjoying the fragrance of "Tieguanyin". This guy can enjoy these good things every day. You must know that if the cup of "Tieguanyin" I hold now is placed in a teahouse or restaurant, such as formal business places, at least tens of thousands of gold coins, it is a total luxury.

Even if I taste it again, I rarely drink it again. After all, although I have some spare money now, I still feel a little distressed about such high consumption. Think about it, in reality, you can drink thousands of drinks in just a few sips. What kind of taste is it like.

Thirty minutes passed, and Zhang San came back in the middle and said that the player was going to negotiate in person. So after staying for a few minutes, he hurried out. The "silhouette" formed by the fat body running made me laugh in my heart. If he hadn't been doing things for me now, I would have to laugh out loud.

More than ten minutes later, Zhang San came back with a happy look on his face. Needless to say, things were done.

"How much?" What I care most about now is of course how much it costs.

"Not much, 590,000." Looking at the fat smiling face in front of me, I really wanted to step on it a few times. I actually bought a shovel for 590,000, which obviously exceeded my pre-order price. I really don't know what this guy thought.

So my face was very bad. Of course, Zhang San was not a blind man, so he could see this and waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Don't be excited! Don't be excited! You made a profit this time!"

"Oh? What do you say?" Looking at Zhang San's smiling look, I knew this guy wouldn't lie to me. But I don't understand why he said I "earned".

"I bought two pieces of equipment for 590,000 yuan. One is the 'Golden Scraper' you want, the price is 500,000 gold coins; the other is the 'Golden Glove' that matches this 'Golden Scraper'. Its attributes are not very good, but if you use it with that 'Golden Scraper', you can increase your strength by 20. Do you think you have made a profit?" Zhang Sanyi smiled proudly. Now in my eyes, this fat face can be said to be very cute.

I wonder if I think my surprise is not enough, Zhang San continued: "The 'Golden Shovel' and 'Gold Gloves' come from a 'Hunter suit' specially used to dig traps. If you can collect the entire set, your trap will be faster."

A set of equipment specially used to dig traps? My brain is a bit awkward. Is there such a strange equipment? However, if it really exists, it would be good to get it through. After taking two pieces of equipment from Zhang San, I happily left the "Tianxia Auction House". Of course, before leaving, I told Zhang San to help me stay if I saw other parts of the suit in the future.

After getting these two good equipment, of course I have to try their effects. When I came outside Pangu City, I chose a harder gravel floor and started digging the trap. The "Golden Shovel" and "Golden Gloves" have indeed had a very good effect. In just five minutes, I dug a trap with a radius of three meters. This is my first time using them. I believe that after I am proficient, my speed will increase.

So in the next few days, I was familiar with two pieces of equipment. On the 30th day of the 12th month of the world, I dug a trap with a radius of three meters. It only takes more than four minutes and twenty seconds for me now, which made me very happy. With this speed, I believe that my chances of winning will be greatly improved in the battle with the enemy.

During the period when I was familiar with the "Golden Shovel" and "Golden Gloves", the "large-scale equipment auction" hosted by the "Tianxia Auction House" in Pangu City was in full swing. A total of 87 pieces of gold equipment, each sold at a price much higher than usual. Even the one with the worst attributes among them was sold for 1.86 million gold coins. According to Zhang San, if this piece of gold equipment was usually sold for at most 700,000 to 800,000 yuan.

The biggest winners of this auction are undoubtedly Zhang San and I. My forty-seven pieces of gold equipment, ninety-eight pieces of silver equipment and nineteen top-quality bronze equipment with very good attributes, sold a total of more than 23,459 million gold coins. After deducting the cost, I actually earned more than 90 million gold coins, totaling more than 7.6 million yuan. In addition to what I had earned since entering the game, I have now become a real millionaire and have truly entered the world of rich people.

Faced with this situation, I couldn't say anything. The game "Xiong Dominate the World" is so amazing that I made me earn more than 8 million yuan in just over four months, which was really unimaginable in the past. Just like the game "Jianghu" I played before "Xiong Dominate the World", I spent more than a year in it, and the final equipment was only 430,000 yuan. With some of the equipment I sold before, it only looked like 500,000 or 600,000 yuan in a year. This is a completely different concept from more than 8 million yuan in more than four months.

Now I have to admire my original decision. If I had still held "Jianghu" at that time, I probably wouldn't have been able to do this.

The pointer of time has pointed to the 30th day of the 12th month of the world calendar, and I also want to go to "Tianxia City" to participate in the "New Year Celebration" officially held in the game, and it is also the opening ceremony of the "Tianxia Martial Arts Fighting Meeting".

After saying goodbye to me, I took Xiaobai and Baihu in a luxury carriage of the "Carriage" to "Tianxia City". The carriage passed through Nuwa City smoothly, and four hours later, to the capital of the Eastern Continent - Tianxia City.

This is not the first time I have been to "Tianxia City", on the contrary, I have been here many times. Every week, I will come once because of purchases, but every time "Tianxia City" gives me a deep feeling. "Tianxia City" with Beijing as the original template is definitely the first in the area, with a total area of ​​at least five times the size of Pangu City before the expansion; the towering city walls, brightly-clad city guards, and spacious streets that allow fifteen horses to run parallel, and classically elegant shops, all of which are incomparable to other cities.

In particular, the imperial city, the center of power of the "Tianxia Dynasty", is built completely in the appearance of the "Forbidden City". Players like me can only enter the outer city, while the inner city is where the officials work, that is, where the senior management of the game live.

Obviously, I came a little late, and it was impossible to find a good inn. Especially all the rooms in the most luxurious and famous "Imperial City Inn" have been booked out, and the time limit was actually February 19, 2018, the second year of the Tianxia Li calendar, which was the official end of the "Tianxia Martial Arts Fighting Meeting".

It seems that there are so many rich people now! As a last resort, I had to find a small inn. This was a very special inn I found when I was looking for those secret shops - Lao Yuanzi. The name of the inn "Lao Yuanzi" reminded me of a kind of dumpling I had eaten, and it was not stated that it was an inn outside the shop. It was for this reason that I entered and took a look.

This look made me realize that this shop is an inn. Although it does not exist as I imagined, it provides a very delicious food, that is, "Huofeng Burning". Of course, the raw materials for "Huofeng Burning" are not "Huofeng". That kind of monster has never been heard of on the mainland; in fact, the so-called "Huofeng" is just a very common "turkey" outside the "Tianxia City".

This kind of "turkey" is just a level 16 monster. It has a weak attack, but it can glide between flapping its wings. It has a very flexible body. It is really difficult to hurt them at ordinary low levels. However, because of its large number, it has become one of the main sources of food for players of "Tianxia City". After all, not everyone has so much money to spend heavily in restaurants.

Although it is one of the main foods for players, the "turkey" meat is definitely not as delicious as the "Snow Rabbit". Its tastes just ordinary, but it has the taste of chicken.

However, this "Lao Yuanzi" specializes in making food with "turkey". In a special way, the original ordinary "turkey" is made into a very delicious "fire phoenix roast" that is as passionate as fire. There is no need to mention the deliciousness of "fire phoenix roast", which is second only to "snow rabbit". Not only that, within a quarter of an hour after eating, you can clearly feel the "fire phoenix roast" entering your stomach produces a heat in your body.

This heat is very strong, but it will not hurt the human body itself. On the contrary, after the heat is over, you will feel relaxed all over, just like a deep "sauna", which is very comfortable. Therefore, every time I go to "Tianxia City", I will come to eat "Huofengguo". If this "Huofengguo" could not leave the flames or be frozen and refrigerated, I would definitely promote it. Alas, it is a pity, my gold coins.

"Mr. Mo, you are here! Please sit in there quickly." The boss, "Lao Yuanzi", who has the same name as the inn, warmly welcomed me into the store.

"Boss, let me have a pot of 'Huofengguo' first, and I'm giving me three 'grilled antelope' for two pets." I sniffed the strong fragrance of 'Huofengguo' in the air and shouted loudly. At the same time, I took out a pot of 50-year-old "Shilixiang" that had not been finished in the luxury carriage and threw it to "Lao Yuanzi".

"Old Yuanzi" gently caught the "Shili Xiang" and sniffed it slightly at the end of his nose. He immediately became happy and shouted loudly to the inside: "Two pots of 'huofeng roast', three 'grilled antelope', and a jar of 'fallen spring back'."

Haha, this guy still likes drinking so much, no, he should drink good wine. Compared to this guy, he has higher requirements for wine, not like the 50-year-old "Shili Xiang" and will never get any of it. In short, I still made a little profit. A pot of 50-year-old "Shili Xiang" is worth 6,000 gold coins.

Just now, the pot of "Huofeng Shao" given by "Lao Yuanzi" costs 3,000 gold coins. In addition, the "Loaching Spring" he brewed himself, this kind of fine wine that is almost the same as the "Ten Li Xiang" that has been aged for 50 years can be sold for at least 5,000 gold coins.

All the wine and food were served. I looked around and there were still no guests. No, now there are nearly one million players coming to participate in the "Tianxia Martial Arts Fighting Meeting". The inns in the "Tianxia City" are basically full, and even the empty rooms are booked. Why is "Lao Yuanzi" still empty? So I told this question.

"Oh, what's the solution? Most people can't find stores like us. Occasionally, a few players come here and don't deliberately promote them. This is what the company hopes. In fact, those who stay in such secret stores are employees at the lowest level of the company. Without performance, they cannot increase their salary; if they want to improve performance, they need to attract a large number of customers, but this is inconsistent with the game setting. Therefore, our stores have always been called "cold palace" by other departments of the company. And I came here because I offended a senior executive of a company before." "Lao Yuanzi" took a sip of wine and sighed deeply.

I heard this and did not expect that the employees of these game companies also had such experiences. It seems that no matter where they are, there are unfair things. Just like before, if I was lucky enough to work in a formal unit, I would be treated coldly because I had no diploma or strong social relations, even if I did a very good job.

Thinking of this, I blurted out and said, "Why don't you do it yourself?" As soon as I said it, I regretted it. If it weren't for the lack of a way, how could I get so angry in the company?

"Old Yuanzi" glanced at me, with deep helplessness in his eyes, and took a sip of wine in a depressed manner.

I thought for a moment and said, "Old Yuanzi." This is the first time I called him the name in the game. Before, I always called him "Boss".

"Huh?" "Old Yuanzi" looked up at me, waiting for my next sentence.

"You know I also open a store." "Lao Yuanzi" nodded and signaled me to continue talking.

"A few days ago, my reputation reached 50,000 points, which means I can open five medium-sized stores. I originally had three stores, but now there are two left." At this point, I stopped and saw the joy in the eyes of "Lao Yuanzi", and continued: "I want to cooperate with you to open a store. I invest in the store. You invest in the gold coins of buying the store. After the store is opened, I will completely leave it to you for the future profits. What do you think?"

"Lao Yuanzi" who is very familiar with the game certainly knows that buying a medium-sized store requires one million gold coins, which is more than 82,000 yuan. In reality, it costs at least 300,000 yuan to open a store, and it also requires a lot of working capital. It is much more cost-effective to open a store in the game.

However, as an employee of a game company, I could not enter the game as a player, so I could not open a store in the game, and even had no need to do other "business" with my previous position and salary.

But now, after being demoted to this "Lao Yuanzi" to see the store, his salary was only more than 3,000 yuan, and the bonus was calculated based on monthly performance. However, even the best month was only 0, which was nothing in the high-consumption city where I live. So, when I heard my cooperation suggestions, I began to revitalize.

I quietly looked at the "Lao Yuanzi" whose face was changing, and slowly enjoyed the delicious "Fire Phoenix Burning". In fact, after upgrading to "Longhuxuan", "Lin Family Restaurant" and "Lin Family Inn", I had no intention of opening a store again. After all, my energy cannot cope with so many stores, and even "Longhuxuan" is rarely managed.

The upgraded "Longhuxuan" is now a three-story building. The ground floor still sells various equipment and pills, but the grade is relatively poor. In addition, the lower floor also purchases some materials I listed, such as "hemostatic grass" for refining medicine, tiger bones, etc. The two newly hired workers are responsible for this floor, called "War Dragon" and "War Tiger".

On the second floor, some high-end equipment, medicinal materials and other high-end items are sold. "Xiaolong" is solely responsible, and "Xiaolong" is also the shopkeeper of "Longhuxuan", responsible for receiving the money.

The third floor is the "Alchemy Room" and my bedroom. "Xiaohu" is responsible for the alchemy. His "alchemy" had reached a bottleneck state before, but after using "Dragon Horn", "Dragon Bone" and "Snow Lotus" to refine more than a dozen "Dragon and Phoenix Pills", "Alchemy" advanced to the master level. Now the elixir attributes refined have increased by more than one level than usual.

But I was in a bad mood. I wasted a lot of precious materials, but I still couldn't break through the bottleneck. I don't know what happened. Could it be that I used up all my good luck? Now it seems that I have to go through some twists and turns in everything I encounter.

As for the "Lin Family Restaurant", it has changed from the original two floors to the current three floors, and the area of ​​each floor is much larger; plus the guests of the "Lin Family Inn" can basically meet the needs of diners. However, after the two stores are upgraded, the number of customers has also increased. It is estimated that after a period of time, there will be a situation where there are more customers and fewer customers.

"Then, who will pay for the money needed for the store upgrade in the future?" After a period of silence, "Lao Yuanzi" finally spoke.

"Everyone pays half of each." Half of the upgrade fee of nine million gold coins is about 370,000 yuan. By then, the money we earned was far more than this, so when I heard that I was so happy, "Lao Yuanzi" immediately agreed. After discussing that after the "World Martial Arts Fighting Meeting", he quit his job and opened his own store. He still runs the old business - the inn, and has already thought of the name, called "Jiang Nanchun"; because "Lao Yuanzi" is real name "Jiang Hao", and I will also call him "" in the future (hehe, how many years older than me).

After discussing some details, I brought the White Tiger who turned into a kitten to the "Tianxia Martial Arts Arena" outside the "Tianxia City". As for Xiaobai, he stayed in "Lao Yuanzi". After all, it was too eye-catching, so it would be better to be low-key at the moment. Looking at the martial arts meetings like this city, I felt in my heart and just called it "Warxia City". I didn't pay attention to the entertainment facilities such as shops. This time the competition venue was my goal.

Since then, the sky is about to compete here, of course I need to be familiar with the competition venue. I first entered the large competition venue. Looking at the vast competition venue, I felt dizzy. Is it necessary to be so big? Without looking at the seats around, just looking at the open space in the middle, it is 400 meters square. I finally believe what the game company said about can accommodate 30,000 people.

Let’s look at those small competition venues. Although they are small, they are only compared to that large competition venue. The 100-meter-square-meter venue is more than enough to accommodate 3,000 people.

I ran around two competition venues, got familiar with the environment, and thought about the appearance and changes after adding various environments to this ground.

Of course, it was not me who had this idea alone. Before I arrived, there were already dense crowds of people on the competition venue, either alone or in groups of three or five, all familiar with the venue. It seemed that everyone wanted to be as familiar with the environment as possible before the competition.
